This book has a tone, the theme, and the beautiful writing, all combine to create this one of the most uplifting, inspiring, convicting, and motivating books. Douglas likes to choose qualities of human nature, pry them open, looking deep inside, holding them to the light to see all the intricate, delicate facets.
For this story, he’s chosen forgiveness. He studies it from every side, showing the baseness of its lacking, and the sublime loftiness of its employment. The new-laid harvest straw beneath the faded red carpet rustled crisply under Martha’s shapeless felt slippers as she padded across the living-room to the cluttered mantel. With the quizzical grimace of long-neglected astigmatism she adjusted the steel-bowed spectacles that had been her mother’s, had of a notion peddler for two dozen eggs and a pound of butter. The wooden-wheeled clock—a noisy but amazingly accurate and exquisitely ornamented product of old ferd’s, while laid up one winter with a broken leg that had kept him two months sober—clacked irascibly at Martha that another blistering august morning was nearly five hours old.
Lloyd Cassel Douglas (1877 – 1951), born Doya C. Douglas, was a noteworthy American minister and author. He spent part of his boyhood in Monroeville, Indiana, Wilmot, Indiana and Forence, Kentucky, where his father, Alexander Jackson Douglas, was pastor of the Hopeful Lutheran Church. He died in Los Angeles, California.
Douglas was one of the most popular American authors of his time, although he didn’t write his first novel until he was 50. His written works were of a moral, didactic, and distinctly religious tone. His first novel, Magnificent Obsession, was an immediate and sensational success. Critics held that his type of fiction was in the tradition of the great religious writings of an earlier generation, such as, Ben-Hur and Quo Vadis. Douglas is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California.
